If you look at the server status page, you see, that he validator is not running yet.
If you look at my results, you see, that it's at least since 25 Jul 2012 | 17:45:10 UTC this way.
If you look at this WU, that was uploaded considerably after it was finished (I've set a 7h runtime), there was probably something fishy yesterday on the server.

I noticed yesterday that some of my WUs were running a bit longer than usual, but the output files looked OK, the credit was proportionate to my usual RAC, so I assumed it was a glitch.

Just checked today and the 'problem' seems worse. My WUs normally run around 4850s (which I assume is the default as I've never knowingly changed anything), but now a lot of them seem to run 6300s to 6900s.

Not really a 'problem' but as @Saenger says, looks fishy! :)

I only check my tasks once per day, but I see the sensor frequently and haven't seen anything odd on the display.

I suspect it's just a comms problem (your end of the wire, not mine!) and the BOINC client backing off.

Cheers,

Al.

The problem is fixed, it was a bug (overflow) in the code which checks output file integrity.

Not fixed for me. Starting going wrong between 08:00 and 09:30 UTC. Not one normal run time since 08:00 UTC.

Last 'good' one: http://radioactiveathome.org/boinc/result.php?resultid=734112

Since then, they all run too long again. Not a big deal, they validate, the credit looks about right, but still fishy :)

Cheers,

Al.
